- Launching Agency – Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
- Aim – To study solar corona.
- Launch Vehicle – Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) XL
- It would be placed into a point in space known as the L1 Lagrange point.
- Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya (PAPA)
- PAPA is an energy and mass analyser designed for in-situ measurements of solar wind electrons and ions in the low energy range.
- It has two sensors: the Solar Wind Electron Energy Probe (SWEEP, measuring electrons in the energy range of 10 eV to 3 keV) and the Solar Wind Ion Composition Analyser (SWICAR, measuring ions in the energy range of 10 eV to 25 keV and mass range of 1-60 amu).
- The sensors are also equipped to measure the direction of arrival of solar wind particles.
